Ojo, who is 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, was a free agent. He had spent the past three seasons with Edmonton. He did not play last season, due to a torn Achilles tendon.

Ojo, 27, is a good-sized corner, but he will battle for a roster spot with the Jets this offseason. He attracted interest from at least eight NFL teams, according to the Toronto Sun.

He was with the Edmonton for one month in 2014, but had a bigger impact in 2015, when he had five interceptions, as Edmonton won the Grey Cup -- the CFL's championship.

Ojo, who played collegiately at Florida A&M, became a free agent in February, and Edmonton did not re-sign him. Coming out of college, he went undrafted in 2014, though he got an NFL tryout with the Seahawks before he joined the CFL.
